he's cast a spell over me

for the next six weeks, we'll be making the weekly trek to marin for a progress check up and a new cast. after our first check up, todd dropped me off at work and brought alphie home where they were merrily greeted by several of our female neighbors, who were psyched to see our little commie (their description, not ours!). next week, i'm requesting a less controversial color like green. or brown. or white.
